INTERROGATION EXERCISES AT U.S. ARMY LANGUAGE SCHOOL 


THOSE EXERCISES CONTAINED HEREIN WHICH PERTAIN TO INTERROGATION ARE 
BASED UPON EXERCISES PREPARED BY THE ARMY GENERAL SCHOOL, 1953, AND ARE 
EXCELLENT FOR LANGUAGE TRAINING. HOWEVER, EVERYONE USING THESE EXERCISES 
MUST REALIZE THAT THE PRISONER RESPONSES ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE EXAMPLES 
FOR U.S. PERSONNEL. SHOULD YOU BECOME A PRISONER OF WAR YOUR CONDUCT AND 
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS SHOULD BE GOVERNED BY THE "MILITARY CODE" OF 1955. 



WALTER E. KRAUS 
Colonel, Artillery 


Commandant 




INFORMATION I MAY DISCLOSE SHOULD I 
BECOME A PRISONER OF WAR 


WHEN QUESTIONED, SHOULD I BECOME A PRISONER OF WAR, I AM BOUND TO GIVE 
ONLY NAME, RANK, SERVICE NUMBER AND DATE OF BIRTH. I WILL EVADE ANSWER¬ 
ING FURTHER QUESTIONS TO THE UTMOST OF MY ABILITY. I WILL MAKE NO ORAL 
OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS DISLOYAL TO MY COUNTRY AND ITS ALLIES OR HARMFUL 
TO THEIR CAUSE. 

When questioned, a prisoner of war is required by the Geneva Con¬ 
vention and permitted by this Code to disclose his name, rank, service 
number and date of birth. A prisoner of war may also communicate with 
the enemy regarding his individual health or welfare as a prisoner of 
war and, when appropriate, on routine matters of camp administration. 
Oral or written confessions true or false, questionnaires, personal 
history statements, propaganda recordings and broadcasts, appeals to 
other prisoners of war, signatures to peace or surrender appeals, self 
criticisms or any other oral or written communication on behalf of the 
enemy or critical or harmful to the United States, its allies, the Armed 
Forces or other prisoners are forbidden. 

It is a violation of the Geneva Convention to place a prisoner of 
war under physical or mental torture or any other form of coercion to 
secure from him information of any kind. If, however, a prisoner is 
subjected to such treatment, he will endeavor to avoid by every means 
the disclosure of any information, or the making of any statement or 
the performance of any action harmful to the interests of the United 
States or its allies or which will provide aid or comfort to the enemy. 

Under Communist Bloc reservations to the Geneva Convention, the 
signing of a confession or the making of a statement by a prisoner is 
likely to be used to convict him as a war criminal under the laws of 
his captors. This conviction has the effect of removing him from the 
prisoner of war status and according to this Communist Bloc device deny¬ 
ing him any protection under terms of the Geneva Convention and repatri¬ 
ation until a prison sentence is served.
